General Information About KYDEX® Sheet
The KYDEX® name is a trademark of the Kleerdex Company for their proprietary thermoplastic. Each grade is custom suited for your particular application or performance need. KYDEX® Sheet is manufactured by Kleerdex Company under an ISO 9002 certified quality system and has been satisfying customer needs for over 30 years.
KYDEX® Sheet is high quality and specialty in nature. They typically should be considered for applications requiring any or all of the following benefits:
Fire Retardancy
High Impact Resistance
Rigidity
Superior Chemical Resistance
Thermoformability
KYDEX® Sheet is typically not a cost-effective substitute for cheaper thermoplastics such as polyethylene, styrene, or cheap ABS, unless those materials are not performing satisfactorily. KYDEX® Sheet can be very competitive and effective as an alternative to painted metal, fire-retardant ABS, Noryl®, Lexan® (polycarbonate), etc.
KYDEX® Sheet complies with Underwriter’s Laboratory, CSA, Building Code and / or FAA flammability requirements. Because of the high impact resistance of KYDEX® Sheet, it has a longer in service life and is very durable. The rigidity allows for a better feel and /or the ability to downgauge. Its superior chemical resistance allows it to be used in harsh, chemically rich environments. It also makes KYDEX® Sheet extremely cleanable because harsh cleaners do not damage the texture or the color of the material. KYDEX® Sheet has excellent forming properties that result in uniform wall thicknesses and crisp detail.
There are a complete range of grades, colors, sheet sizes and textures available to meet the most demanding applications. To choose the grade of the KYDEX® Sheet that will work best for you, ask yourself a few questions:
1) What are you making?
2) What product are you using now?
3) What specifications or regulatory compliance must you meet?
4) What are your physical and visual performance requirements -- how is the product being used?
5) What is your economic situation?
With this information, a salesperson can help you choose the grade that is right for your application.
